Would he have gotten into the slightest bit of trouble for wearing a Call of Duty or Modern Warfare shirt that depicts a video game where you shoot hundreds of people in one session? No. Because the leftist nerds love to shoot guns in fantasyland but shiver if you put a real gun into their hands.

There are three things that need to be done. People need to call up the county commission and demand speaking time at the next commission meeting. After one thrilling evening with angry residents....the commission will ask some stupid questions of the police force and start talking about pay freezes. That will get the attention of the chief real quick.

Second, everybody in the county....who believes in the kid....needs to buy one of the NRA t-shirts, and start wearing them....even to church, and shopping. If you just get ten thousand people doing this....it puts public perception immediately upon the police and the court folks.

Finally, just stand up and ask what fourteen year old youth have they handled like this in the past? Make the police force answer to past activity and why this ended up in such a comical situation.

Sounds like if the boy had just let the officer speak - it wouldn’t have come to this...this Logan WV...if you’ve never been there - it’s a different world down there in southern WV - I’m sure there is more to the story - regardless of the boy never getting into trouble...will have to wait and see...

“Lardieri says that he was informed by Logan City Police on Thursday that his son was facing two charges, obstructing an officer and disrupting the education process. However, Jareds attorney Ben White says that wasnt the police departments call to make.”

-snip

“White said. Charges arent officially filed or brought until the prosecuting attorneys signs off on them and they dont do that willy nilly. They do that after a thorough investigation.

“That investigation is now under way, led by juvenile prosecuting attorney Sabrina Deskins.”

Personality types. I’ve known at least a dozen, who CRAVE the gun and badge, but at least half of THEM would have soiled their undies if ever confronted by a real outlaw. They LOVE to terrorize old folks and kids like this one.....and to hit on lone females.

In my experience, it is when the *rules/laws* are *interpreted* by cops and school administration. Even when it comes down to bullying [I don’t intentionally mean to throw that topic in here] but as more of an explanation of these idiots ....when it is a case of personal interpretation of the laws/rules ....those in charge fall down here, big time. then the rallying around starts amongst the cops and school. Case in point:

The next day : **Marcum’s friends also wore T-shirts displaying firearms on Friday to protest his suspension, and at least one of them was asked to remove their clothing.**

They don’t even consistently enforce the stupid rules they make. At the very least, they should be shamed into correcting things or thrown out on their ears.

It is hard to judge the facts from a distance, but it looks like this was a case of a loopie Teacher, idiot Admin calling the Cops for a “rude” student.

Like Nancy Pelosi, they make up the rules as they go along.

Now, I agree that school administrators should run their school system, not the children. BUT, the school board should hire competent administrators instead of bureaucrap idiots. Like the kind who put in place “zero tolerance” nonsense.

Ah! Another example of hysterical women (scared of the sight of guns whether real or printed on a shirt) and timid men who are petrified with fear over someone actually exhibiting their rights to free speech and expression.

This is a classic violation of our First Amendment and no one in Washington thinks anything is wrong.

Political Correctness is destroying our guaranteed rights and the people who are voted into office to assure protection of our Constitution rights simply are too busy enriching themselves with power and money to do even notice it.

(Once the tainted finger of government touches anything the rot begins)

We became one November 4, 2008. it was affirmed November 6,2012. They are now consoladating their power, My FRiend.

Review your history. Each time the Socialists have taken over a Country,once they are sure that they are in control, the first thing they do is go after [silence as far as critism goes] the media. The media that helped them into power. This is what the obama regime is doing now.

The link you posted came from when the incident took place, back in April. The charges were filed this week. Apparently the investigation already took place.

My two cents on this entire event: The root of the problem is liberal/progressive educators (that includes school administrators). This should have been a non-issue. It was not against the district's dress code, but they went after the kid because it was an NRA t-shirt. The police should have never been called to deal with a t-shirt issue. It is a complete over reaction by the school, law enforcement, and the juvenile prosecuting attorney.

I have seen these type of things happen over and over again in my daughter's former government schools, but never with a NRA t-shirt, so it doesn't make the news. There is an increasing number of minors with police records for doing nothing worse than what has always occurred in schools. There are other ways of handling these problems, and in some cases the problems wouldn't even be recognized as problems 40 years ago.

I always enjoy the opportunity to learn something, and “topics” is an area totally ignored till now.

As to the t-shirt as the prime topic, well, that was missing in action, but the above will cut you some slack, and...

number three in my all time favorite thread dislikes is the abandoning of a thread because so many others have been posted one doesn’t have time to manage all of them. You done good on that count. Not that you were doing it just for me, but thanks.
